Plenty of AEW fans have been wondering what’s going on with AEW commentator Bryan Danielson, who has recently been missing from Dynamite and Collision. During an interview on In The Weeds’ charity live stream, President Tony Khan explained that the American Dragon is hurting and off the road to recover.
“Bryan’s beat up, and I’ve been giving him time to rest and recover. I’d love to have Bryan out there all the time, but he’s been home and with his family, and he’s doing very well.
But it’s a lot for
Bryan being on the road, and a lot of the utility of Bryan stepping away from the ring and resting is him being home with his family and recovering, and trying to be off the road. So I’ve been trying to take the pressure of the road off Bryan. But when he’s able to travel more and be pain free, I think it will be great.
I also think even just sitting in the chair and moving his head around in the monitor and stuff, it’s hard. It’s harder than people understand with the injuries he’s had. People don’t realize the toll that this business and this sport has taken on this man. He’s done so much for all of us.
So, it means the world to have him in AEW, and be part of this family, but also that means now he’s done everything he can in the ring for AEW at this point, and I don’t need to drag him out and beat him up every week even more when he’s hurting.”
If anybody is still wondering if Bryan made the correct decision to stop wrestling nearly two years ago, I think Khan’s answer makes it very clear that Danielson’s body shouldn’t be taking any more bumps in a wrestling ring.
